The desk · agent-first

One room to plan, ship, and brief every agent on your product.

Issues, day plan, product brain, journey map, releases — and Chief/MCP that move the same board. Not five tabs. Not a version badge in a logo.

MCP live · solo founder first · portfolio-ready

The real tax

Your product lives in five apps. Your agents get none of them.

Linear for tickets. Notion for vision. A calendar for today. CHANGELOG.md in git. Claude in another window with zero context. You paste. You re-explain. You ship late.

5 apps, cold agents1 desk, shared spine
Board + brain + map. Chief and Cursor hit the same truth.
AI bolted onAgent-first control
Every surface has tools. Chat is the control plane.
Version theaterShip when customers should care
Repo owns CHANGELOG.md. Desk owns the journey and the release.

What this replaces

Linear + Sunsama + Notion + “paste into Claude.” One desk.

Linear
Issues
Board, list, cycles, epics — keyboard-fast. Solo first.
Sunsama
Today
Global day across products. Pull issues. Drag time.
Notion wiki
Brain
Vision + epic specs. Rich for you, markdown for agents.
Scattered changelogs
Ship + repo
Customer notes on the desk; CHANGELOG.md stays in git.
Cold MCP hosts
MCP desk
Claude / Cursor / Grok hit the same board + brain.

The room

Past · present · future. One product at a time — or the whole day.

Stage Law: one hero job. No second sidebar. Chief stays off until you call it.

Issues
Work. Cycles. Epics. Agents move cards.
Today
Portfolio day. Schedule issues. Resize time.
Brain
Shared product knowledge. Markdown for MCP.
Map
Journey: shipped, now, next.
Ship
Customer releases when it matters.
Chief
Cofounder dock. Same tools as MCP.

Any agent host

Point Claude, Cursor, or Grok at the desk.

Streamable HTTP MCP. Bearer vp_ key or OAuth. The board and brain are the source of truth — not a paste buffer.

Issues · brain docs · today blocks · ship — all tools
OAuth 2.1 or long-lived vp_ keys
Trust hooks still fire (Done needs criteria)

Three moves

How founders run the desk

1
Open a product
Switcher in the rail. One focus product — or global Today across the portfolio.
2
Write the brain
Vision on the spine. Epic specs linked to issues. Markdown for every agent.
3
Work + schedule
Issues for the queue. Today for the clock. Chief or MCP to thrash.

About the name

VersionPill was the pill. The desk is the product.

We built VersionPill to put the version in the logo. AI made “manage the badge” the wrong job — CHANGELOG.md in the repo is enough for the file. The hard problem is the cofounder room: past · present · future + agents that can act. Founder Desk is that room. The domain can stay while the product tells the truth.

Run your portfolio from one desk.

Ship products. Brief every agent. Stop pasting context.
